- What is wrong
- Gm is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 buick, lucerne; cadillac dts; hummer h2; model year 2008-2009 buick enclave; cadillac cts; model year 2007-2009 cadillac escalade, escalade esv, escalade ext; chevrolet avalanche, silverado, suburban, tahoe; gmc acadia, sierra, yukon, yukon xl; saturn outlook; and model year 2009 chevrolet traverse vehicles equipped with a heated washer fluid system (hwfs). A recall was implemented in 2008 to add a fuse to the control circuit harness to address the potential consequences of a printed circuit board (pcb) electrical short. However, there have been new reports of thermal incidents on hwfs modules after this improvement was installed. These incidents resulted from a new failure mode attributed to the device's thermal protection feature. The significance varies from minor distortion to considerable melting of the plastic around the hwfs fluid chamber.
- Risk
- It is possible for the heated washer module to ignite and a fire may occur.
- Remedy
- Dealers will permanently disable and remove the heated washer fluid module. An updated page for the owner manual will be provided and inserted in the owner manual to document that the feature has been permanently disabled and removed from the vehicle.

What 2007 GMC Sierra owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
2007 GMC SIERRA- Consumers writing in about the recall notice and repair of the Takata airbag. Consumer stated " I made an appointment with the dealer." " After waiting in a long line to check in. the serviceman told me that to replace the airbag they would have to remove the dashboard and it most likely will crack during the procedure and the replacement cost is at my expense. He also said that he is not aware of any problem resulting if I choose not to have it replaced. If you can guarantee that replacing the airbag will not crack the dashboard or that you will cover the cost of a new dashboard, I will be happy to honor the recall notice." Recall notice attached.
Metal brake lines rusted prematurely @ 29,900 miles causing brake line to rupture. This caused brake failure. Truck had to be towed to dealer who diagnosed rusted brake lines. For future safety all metal brake lines on truck required replacement. Failure occurred in work parking lot so no accident occurred due to failure.
Dash has cracked at the corner of passenger airbag and above instrument cluster.
I had a minor vehicle accident when I applied the brakes they went straight to the floor. I hand my vehicle towed to shop and it was found that the brake lines had rusted thru in the bracket on the firewall.
As truck was started after routine maintenance and being pull out of garage on11/10/15 there was a fire under the front of truck. When the fire was extinguished, the mechanic saw that the wiring was exposed due to continuous scraping against truck frame.
Upper and lower ball joints bad at 88k. Bought from dealer oct 2015, full engine replacement january 2016 at 87k
My dash has large gaps/cracks in the dashboard. These range from the windshield all the way the front piece of trip. The dash is completely separated. Right in the center of the dash, around the airbags, and the other smaller parts or the dash are cracked too. I use a sun shield, so that is not the case. My daughter and I have both cut our hands on the dash. She was so surprised when she got in the truck that she asked if I had a wreck, and then ran her hand over the dash and cut her palm ad two fingers. I also cut my hand while trying to clean it so that stuff does not drop down the crack, such as dirt or dust, can't that start a fire with the wires and the heater down there? Another thing is my vents don't wok like they are suppose to. The dash is so broken you can hear sounds of plastic vibrating and blowing in the vents. This directly effects the air flow to, it's like its not even connected. This all happened while the vehicle was in the garage stationary not running.
Driver door. Won't unlock have to get out of truck on right side , took it to dealer said it not and easy fix over 1200 dollars to repair, look on line a lot of other who have serria tk have had problems with the locking system not working, with the door not unlocking has to be a saftey issue.
Dash is cracked around the air bag. Cracked in three places, if in a crash dash may explode into sharp pieces and cause more damage. Scared the dash will crumble in a crash and not provide any needed support.
